‘New boys’ is a bit of a tricky term for all three of the promoted teams in the 2014/15 Premier League, as all three clubs have done the top flight dance before… and one even won a title.

That one club is Burnley. Yes, that title came in 1960, but the Clarets have been around for over 130 years and have a tremendous history. To fill us in on the club we reached out to the great folks at Burnley blog NoNayNever.net.

Q: What’s the Cliff’s Notes, one paragraph answer to “Explain Burnley to someone who has no idea who they are”

A: Burnley are one of the historic teams of the game. Founding members of the football league, they’ve existed since 1882 in Burnley, Lancashire. Burnley have one of the best attendances in England as a proportion of their population. The locals love their football!

Q: What odds do you place on the club’s top-flight survival? What odds do you think most Burnley supporters would give them to advance?

A: Burnley‘s odds of survival are slim. Every fan will accept that. In the modern game, so reliant on money, it’s hard for sides with small budgets to compete but we’ve always liked being the underdogs and proving people wrong.

Q: Who are the 2-3 players we have to know to understand this year’s team? Who do the fans love? Who do the fans not love?

A: Danny Ings and Kieran Trippier. Trippier is one of the best young full backs in the country and this lad will be an England star in the not-too-distant future. His athleticism and crossing will cause problems for our opponents and he understands the fans’ passion and what it means to be a Claret. Ings has been a goal machine over the last year and a firm fan favourite. Everyone will be watching him to see if he can make the step up and score goals in the world’s best league.
